OK...so 2 days ago i installed linux mandrake 9.1 , this being the 4th distro ive tried i was obviosuly very hesitant but i didnt want to be a pawn of m&#036; forever so i did it anyways.BIG MISTAKE.
1.) START UP WAS MUCH SLOWER THAN WINXP (XP- >20SECS MAN- <140SECS)
2.) NO DECENT PROGAMS
3.) VERY POOR MULTIMEDIA SUPPPRT (COULD GET SOUND TO WORK FOR 2HRS )
4.) SUPPORT FROM LINUX COMMUNITY? they called me a "stupid ass f@#k" for not knowing how to use the console to install an rpm
5.) CRAPPY WEB BROWSER
6.) WINE BLOWS CHUNKS
7.) EARLIER DISTRO (SLACKWARE 9.0) CRASHED AND SCREWED UP THE KERNEL AND WOULDNT BOOT UP

theres more but ive just downloaded Cowboy Bebop and wanna watch it. hope its good
